This study examines the development of signs and symptoms of craniomandibular disorders (CMD), and some effects of orthodontic treatment from the age of 12-19 years of age. The data is drawn from a special sample of adolescents recruited at 11 years of age by random stratified sampling to contain a high prevalence of malocclusions of particular orthodontic interest. The sample does not reflect malocclusion in a normal population. The prevalence of frequent headache and TMJ disorders shows a major increase from 12 to 15 years of age. From 15 to 19 years of age, there is some increase in the prevalence of TMJ disorders in girls, but altogether the prevalence of signs and symptoms of CMD is much more stable. When the data from subjects who received orthodontic treatment were compared with data from subjects who had not received orthodontic treatment, only small differences were found.
本研究调查了12至19岁颅下颌关节紊乱症（CMD）的体征和症状发展情况，以及正畸治疗的一些影响。数据取自通过随机分层抽样在11岁时招募的青少年特殊样本，该样本包含特别受正畸关注的错牙合高患病率情况。该样本不能反映正常人群中的错牙合情况。频繁头痛和颞下颌关节紊乱症的患病率从12岁到15岁有大幅上升。从15岁到19岁，女孩中颞下颌关节紊乱症的患病率有所增加，但总体而言，CMD体征和症状的患病率要稳定得多。将接受正畸治疗的受试者数据与未接受正畸治疗的受试者数据进行比较时，仅发现了微小差异。
